Pulled the left side block huggers off to replace the manifold gasket to get rid of the clack clack clack exhaust leak




Fark I should have checked coz the leak was the flange gasket at the collector , checked through the spare parts and found a flange gasket that'll fit but I'll have to grab some new bolts tomorrow

great minds think alike saddam did exactly the same thing today and started on sealing up the rocker covers as they were leakin like a siev, got my optima red tops in too makes the winch go real good

Found out why my top spotties weren't working, the screw where they earth was loose

Was so pissed off after finally sorting the spots on the front and wiring everything in through the highbeam then the ####### lights on the top don't work!!

It's nearly always the simple things causing problems.

My brother called me, he lost the right front disc pads , did i have some , quick trip to Manukau city car park , he's worn the pads down to baremetal ,grooved the disc , bit that got me is he pulled a face when is said got mine servised every 5000 km ,

bought a transportation carry thingy to put the missile on for when i go do cool stuff that might break it

pump has arrived ... so its winching time bitch

Well Taz01 brought round a new garden ornament for me


And came in his new drug dealer pimpmobile which got stuck on my front lawn

Anyway, Surf parts for sale ...SEE TAZ01

And I picked up the missing bit of my new steering arms which have been finally identified....cheers Dace

Yay, replaced both steering arms without too much cursing.

Steering stabiliser caused a few problems though.

did he flop it

sweet fark all but made the effort to go check out Jafa's truck, and it is farken cool. Thanks for letting me have a drive

So the Jeep has a couple of front end issues. A wobble at about 90 that disappears at 100, and a flex in the front diff when reversing and applying the footbrake.
So after recently buying another top, and then unexpectedly killing the release bearing in the clutch, attention turned to these other two issues. Shocks have been replaced front and rear, trackbar bushes have been replaced, wheelbearing/hub assemblies have been replaced, wheels have been balanced. Still same issues. So today got the control arm bushes replaced as well......................... and it still freaking hasnt done a thing!!!!!!!!

AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

^^^King pin bearings???

Its probably the track bar. Have you checked the new bushing for correct size? If not, could be the ball joints. Lastly, axle u-joints?

When you see Jafa's truck in action it is better than what you can imagine. F ing Good. Worth the effort to see

Cheers Richard

Since Im on call this weekend and not allowed to drive my baby I decided to try my hand at some bar work since having to ditch the bling chrome bumper to fit the winch, just need to clean up my birdsh*t welding a little more and then finish painting it and fitting the number plate properly . resonably happy with the end result considering this is the first time ive attempted anything like this.

Friday got it lifted and a front bj flip by G guy motors in town
Then saturday got my new wheels on and got it wheel aligned etc.
Soo much better lifted and rides alot better.

Well, that only leaves your ball joints in the front suspension. Are you sure its coming from the front?

major progress on the g this weekend the highlight being this

Finally got a wheel alingment done after a bush repair 18 months ago, bloody thing actually drives where I point it now, what a novelty. Bought a new 10,000lb winch, just have to wait for it to arrive and fit now.

Was a marshall for a MTB race out back of Peel Forest. It is great because i get to drive all over the farm.
Bummer was Mates truck was broken into and the bugger had a go at mine. I chased him off and the followed in truck. as it is a BJ73 I never caught up to him enough to get him number plate.
Cops reacon it is that guy that has been on TV.
